Hey everyone. As I have been trolling around this site for a few months now I finally decided to sign up and post. Ive enjoyed reading every ones post's. I recently just got back into the game a few months back after leaving for slow pitch softball. I played I3' "blades" and loved them. I ended up selling them and could kick myself. This Christmas I bought myself some Burner 1.0's and hated them. long story short I sold them. I found a set of Ping Eye 2's a week or two back and scooped them up after 5 hits. I understand with the loft angles different that they are a club short to my I3's. I love the feel and response of them. Im going to play my first round with them Saturday. Im curious to find what golf balls most of you old ping hackers hit with these irons.

Im 25, Swing hard and make solid contact. I play a little cut, and carry the 7 iron 145/150.

I'm looking to pick up three sleeves to try some balls. Please let me know what you fella's think. Any advice is much appreciated.

I have been impressed with the following balls...

Srixon Z star

Titleist NXT Tour S

Callaway Hex Chrome

For me in order of preference:

- Taylormade Penta TP | Expensive ball but lovely spin, excellent feel and good distance. Discontinued.

- Srixon Z-Star | Expensive ball but lovely spin, excellent feel and good distance.

- Titleist NXT Tour | General every day ball. Adequate distance. Adequate spin. Not too expensive.

- Bridgestone e5 | As per NXT Tour but a little more 'clicky' on putts.

- Srixon AD333 | Good winter ball. Adequate distance. OK spin. Cheap.

- Bridgestone e6 | Nice ball for taking sidespin off drives. Cover seems quite hard. Difficult to check the ball. Clicky and skitters a way on putts before rolling.

Currently trying out:

- Wilson Staf DX2 Soft

- Bridgestone B330-RX

    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
    • I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
